“Growing up in London, I wasn’t able to experience much opera but fell in love with it through this project,”

 “It is an act of courage to summon that quiet voice and tell someone ‘no’ – to trust in your own voice and power. Sometimes those magical moments of strength are given to us during the most everyday scenarios, but they still take courage and they still matter. This is what Adjustments means to me.”

New opera, in a new way, to a new crowd…
